There seems to be a problem here, of course, because if the best album is orchestral, as this one is, than you'd think it would be best orchestral performance as well.
The performance, one could say, just marginally beat out the Tilson Thomas one, but the recording quality and everything else about the Tilson Thomas album was so far superior that -- taking everything into account -- it topped Boulez for the main award.
Surely the best classical album should stand out musically; surely, on musical grounds alone, it ought to be one of the top CDs of the year.
